Abstract

We employed a fully optimized Shadow Wave Function (SWF) in combination with Variational Monte Carlo techniques to investigate the properties of HD molecules and molecular ortho-deuterium (o-D_2) in bulk solid para-hydrogen (p-H_2). Calculations were performed for different concentrations of impurities ranging from about 1% to 25% at the equilibrium density for the para-hydrogen crystal. By computing the excess energy both for clustered and isolated impurities we tried to determine a limit for the solubility of HD and o-D_2 in p-H_2.
